I hired Carmen and Jeb to take over for me at my bed-and-breakfast in Northfield, Minnesota for three weeks while I traveled in Italy. They came highly recommended and did not disappoint!They both display a consistent commitment to providing excellent customer service. My guests all gave them rave reviews and said that they made them feel extremely welcome and well taken care of. Carmen is an excellent cook who provides delicious breakfasts (and I'm sure other meals if need be). Both she and Jeb are very warm and friendly people who have no trouble conversing at length with the variety of customers one encounters in any hospitality oriented business.In addition, they kept up the property and cared for my four cats with the same level of care and commitment. I felt very comfortable leaving things in their hands and was not surprised to find everything in perfect order when I returned from my trip.I would not hesitate to recommend Carmen and Jeb as Innsitters. They are both extremely capable and completely trustworthy. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

“WOW!!! Do we ever have to leave?”Reviewed 2 weeks agoI barely stepped out of the door of Tin Lizzie before I wanted to write a review! Walking through the door of Tin Lizzie felt like being home. It was cozy and clean, plus it didn't hurt that our room was practically bigger than my house!! The innkeepers, Carmen and Jeb, couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. They made a great experience even better with the delicious breakfasts, great conversation and wonderful recommendations for the area. You can truly tell that they love what they do! We hadn't even left before deciding that we would return to Yosemite some time in the Spring (and of course stay at this cute B&B).

Kathy & Jacques Meinen ~ Satigny, SwitzerlandWe were absolutely thrilled with Carmen and Jeb! We came back to our inn and winery that was cleaner than when we left, a garden tidier than when we left, and two dogs that had thoroughly bonded with them.The dogs miss them!We received daily emails with photos during the 2 weeks we were gone, so we knew that our business was in good hands.We whole-heartedly recommend them for any professional assignment. A lovely caring couple who I can highly recommend to anyone who wants their business looked after in the best ever possible way. Thank you Carmen and Jeb!

Marina & Richard Mills ~ Cortijo, SpainCarmen and Jeb house sat for us for a week over the Christmas period. We couldn't have wished for better sitters. They took us to the airport and collected us again and we arrived home to an immaculate house and very happy, relaxed dogs. Just perfect. We wouldn't hesi

Kris & George Bordeaux ~ Collioure, FranceWe were initially concerned that Jeb and Carmen were coming from such a great distance to care for our animals and large home, but they arrived right on time as promised. They were lovely from the start....they kept in contact on a regular basis, and when we arrived home everything was perfect. (maybe even cleaner than when we had left) :) The animals were happy, and so were we! Thank you Jeb and Carmen. Best Regards, Kris & George​No poaching allowed!

Jeb and Carmen have you been running the Tin Lizzie Inn for a year now. The reviews on TripAdviser should be all the recommend they need. They are are 5 diamond and glowing. As the owner of the Tin Lizzie Inn, I can say both have been a joy to work with. I know in time they will be leaving to go elsewhere, I just hope it's not soon. If it were up to me, they would have a permanent home at the Tin Lizzie Inn. I am holding back on my recommendation for fear of loosing them to another Inn.

David Woodworth (owner of the Tin Lizzie Inn)Brenda Gagan ~ Edinburgh, ScotlandCarmen & Jeb provided excellent care for our 2 dogs and 1 cat during the 4 weeks we were away. In addition, we came home to a spotless house, and a welcome home bottle of wine and flowers. I could not have imagined more from relatives let alone house sitters I had never met. A definite must if you are in need of quality house sitters. Thanks Again!

Paula Pope ~ Durango, ColoradoI have used many house sitters in the past, however Jeb and Carmen eased my mind from the moment I first spoke with them. They are an easy going, and down to earth couple. My 2 dogs took to them immediately, and when I arrived back home it was clear they had all bonded nicely. The home was neat and tidy, and that is not an easy task as it is quite large. Carmen & Jeb emailed me almost every other day to check-in and let me know how things were going which was greatly appreciated. I will be contacting them again in the near future, as I can't imagine using anyone else. Thanks a bunch!Dennis Moore/Lilian Tuypens ~ Fuengirola, SpainCarmen & Jeb were a great couple to have stay in our villa & look after the three dogs.While we were away Jeb did a great job cleaning up our bottom terrace & gardenWe highly recommend them for future house sitting vacancies and if we have another one in the future we would email them first to check their availability.We hope to see you again in the future!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Magic Door Bed and Breakfast. The bed was comfortable, the room cozy, the amenities perfect and the food delicious. Our hosts, Carmen and Jeb could not have been more hospitable! We hope to return again!Jack and Deb

​The Tin Lizzie Inn is a quirky, upscale/upmarket old-fashioned inn with a nice but not overbearing Ford Model T theme in the inn itself. It is located in an attractive spot in some trees perhaps 100 metres from the highway. The hosts are Carmen and Jeb.The inn itself is lovely to stay in - our upstairs room was huge, with comfortable bed, nice bath, good shower etc.But... what really made the visit and the 5 rating were the hosts Carmen and Jeb. They are both very friendly, with an excellent (quirky) sense of humour, really genuinely helpful with plans for visiting Yosemite (e.g. sharing their 'local knowledge' tips rather than, say, just handing over the stock Yosemite map) and overall a couple that make you feel very comfortable and welcome.And finally, the Ford Model T ride with Jeb is also very special - we won't be forgetting that.Stayed September 2016, traveled as a couple
